Eating more carbohydrate is linked to lower dementia risk and longer life, specifically if that carb is dietary fiber. Yet 95% of Americans get less than the daily recommended amount. For example, an observational study on nearly 4000 Japanese adults found that those eating more fiber had a roughly 20% lower risk for developing disabling dementia over the observational period. Here's my deep dive into fiber, brain health and why eating more fiber is a simple way to vote for better brain health:

The Missing Carb That Could Be Protecting Your Brain merging research suggests that one of the most powerful nutrients for overall and brain health could be a carb, and almost nobody is eating the recommended amount. In this article, we’re breaking down the science on dietary fiber, and why it may still be one of the best-kept secrets for longevity,...

This is one of my favorite events of the year, and I’d love you to join me! I’m excited to be returning to the stage at the Eudemonia Summit this year to speak on the latest in brain science research. If you’re not familiar, Eudemonia sits at the intersection of performance, philosophy, and science—bringing together ideas that shape how we think about health and human potential. It’s more than a conference; it’s a gathering of people passionate about expanding human health and wellbeing.
This year’s lineup includes an exceptional group of physicians, researchers, and health leaders—individuals who have spent years advancing their fields and are actively shaping what comes next. One of the things I appreciate most about Eudemonia is its openness to diverse perspectives, creating space for meaningful dialogue and a more complete view of complex topics.
Eudemonia takes place November 5–8 in West Palm Beach. If you’re interested in exploring brain health, performance, and the future of wellness, I hope you’ll join me for the conversations, experiences, and community that make this event unique.
